I don't think 1150 MM equals 2 meters

You are right but it is 45 1/4 " and the long pic on the dash is 35 1/2 " long so 1 pic will do the tow sides of the dash.

There are two ends to the tube. One is lit and the other is just a dummy plug. I have also modified the abl on the doors. As soon as I have access to a computer I will show that mod.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 08-24-2009, 07:54 AM

looking forward to that.

rharon · 08-24-2009, 10:06 AM

Here are some pic of the inside of the abl on the door. There is something interesting. There is a black piece of tape covering up the section to align with the dash. I have modified mine to remove the paint from that section which will allow the light to pass through. You can see my finger in the picture that is the end of the door panel. Its hard to photograph the abl.

I also have my Red/ Orange i have been looking for!!!

Any help on the red rings on the guages???

*radz28* · 08-24-2009, 10:10 AM

LOL - those are some scary pics', LOL!!!

CamaroSkooter · 08-24-2009, 10:16 AM

That's one crazy mofo right there. I'd be scared ****less to open up the dash like that.

Kudos to being the brave soul, my friend

Amazing work.

Some questions after reading http://dkc1.digikey.com/us/en/ph/Tyc...ight_pipe.html: It seems that along with A99861-ND ( the actual "pipe" ), you're going to need one more more A99858-ND ( the "light engine assembly", where I assume the LED resides ), and maybe a A99862-ND ( cable assembly ). On Digi-key's pages, I don't see anywhere that talks about the lighting color.

2SSRS - How did you get that wonderful orange, and where do we get the cool blue?
